My name is Orkhan Justin Hazrati, username JJSlider. I'm generally a Nintendo player when it comes to games, but I have branched out to numerous other franchises from the likes of Naughty Dog, Insomniac Games, Wayforward, and many others. Generally I like almost any type of game, barring the FPS and Strategy genre.

Your local neighborhood nutjob, gamer, and teacher! I'm an avid fan of many genres such as platformers, shooters, horror, etc. I am also an avid tabletop gamer - hugely into the worlds of Warhammer and all of their spinoffs. I'm a big believer in being objective - even if something is not my cup of tea, I want to talk about it on the objective level - is it well made, crafted with love, and with care for the fans? If so, that's a good game in my book for someone and well worth their hard earned dollarydoos!

In second grade, I received my first console, a purple GameCube on which I would spend hours playing games such as Animal Crossing, Mario Kart, and Zelda Wind Waker. Although those GameCube days are long gone, I have continued to play and be fascinated by games more than a decade later. My current university schedule keeps me busy, but I still enjoy playing Smash with dorm-mates and friends, torturing myself by trying to climb on League of Legends solo queue, and exploring mobile games

Having spent my entire life gaming, my interests have expanded over to how the gaming industry has grown and developed into a globalized market over the course of my life time, as well as how games can build community and create a sense of belonging for people. I'm also trying to climb ranked in Overwatch so if you want to queue together, let me know

My particular interests are in shooters, open-world survival games, virtual reality platforms. Currently a sophomore at Columbia University pursuing a CS degree specializing in artificial intelligence and machine learning.

My name is Haylee, but everyone calls me "Haylz". Gaming has been a passion of mine since my grandma bought me The Sims for PC and my love for gaming flourished from there. Currently, I'm a Senior studying English at Texas A&M University- Corpus Christi and spend most of my time gaming and leading my school through collegiate competitions as President of the eSports club! Despite being a dedicated vegetarian, my favorite games tend to be First Person Shooters and I'm naturally drawn to blood and gore! Chances are, if you can kill in it, I'll play it... I just won't eat it (unless it's a Fallout perk)!

I've always been a huge fan of video games and their ability to completely immerse the player in their world. I got my start in FPS games like Halo, but I have branched into nearly every area. My current fascination is surrounding VR and how it completely changes one's gaming experience.

I am a console gamer generally and play both Xbox One and PS4. I am drawn to third and, though slightly less-so, first person adventure titles. I like some character development, but often find myself frustrated by games with a heavy "RPG" component. Online and campaign type formats are fun for me and I'm very familiar with the ins and outs of "live" game-play.

The queer SJW gamer your parents warned you about, probably. I'll play anything once, but have a specific penchant for roguelikes, artsy puzzlers, and rhythm games.
